About the Game

General Description


Fear Of The Darkness is a narrative psychological horror game that will push you to face the serious phobias of some patients.

Play as the enigmatic doctor in charge of treating them, or at least try, it won't be an easy mission.

Avoid by all means being overwhelmed by the heavy emotional burden of your patients, come out of the Darkness and explore the various corners of the so-called Truth.

Setting


The main environment of the game is a strange room, where everything changes often, a bit like it is in our nature.

Be careful, here you will be able to discover many details about the characters' stories after delving into their minds; you will be able to unlock new powers, relax, look around and continue this unusual journey.

Gameplay

Go through the different phases of the game and rummages through the patients' rarefied memories, always in search of Clarity.

Explore these 4 intriguing stories, each with its own unique gameplay:

  • a platform phase in which you will have to jump carefully to reach the end of the various paths, but remember that nothing lasts forever...



  • a phase where you will encounter something or someone in the dark that is not real, or maybe it is?



  • a fast-paced phase in which you will be encouraged to run and escape, but escape from what?



  • a puzzle phase where you will have to use your skills to get to the goal, or perhaps you will prefer to linger for a long time?
